This Day We Write

For those of you who are new to SiWC, the amazing and generous Robert Dugoni coined what has become our conference motto: this day we write. We try to live by it and to support you in making it your own motto, too.

We've been hearing from a lot of you about your writing goals, and it seems like May is the best thing since Nanowrimo for many of you. Whether it's the energy that comes from spring springing all around you or the panicked realization that the year is flying by, we're all for the motivation we're seeing.

We figure putting your goals in writing, especially for other people, and checking in with progress reports is a great way to help stay on track.

Why not share your May goals here in the comments? And if you're on Twitter, use #thisdaywewrite to share.

Looking for motivation? Why not jump on one of these bandwagons?

Board member and presenter kc dyer is making May her personal "kcnowrimo", attempting to get through a very long list of goals by the end of the month. You'll find her talking about it on Twitter @kcdyer.

Conference coordinator Kathy (that's me! - weird to talk about myself in the third person) is trying to write at least a little something every day in May, reporting in using #thisdaywewrite and #thisMaywewrite

SiWC is a little less than six months away. If you averaged 500 words a day between now and then, you'd have over 75000 words by then that you don't have now. That's a book. Or a collection of short stories or poems or dozens of articles or blog entries or whatever it is you're working on. You can do it!
